## Description

BuddyLunch takes the hassle out of coordinating lunch with friends. No more group text chaos figuring out who&#39;s paying, where to go, or who&#39;s actually coming. Just create a group, invite your friends, and let BuddyLunch handle the rest.<br><br>Fair Payment Rotation<br>Never argue about whose turn it is again. BuddyLunch automatically tracks and rotates who pays next. Someone couldn&#39;t make it? Skip their turn with one tap. Prefer to split the bill? Switch to Dutch mode and let the app calculate each person&#39;s share.<br><br>Smart Restaurant Suggestions<br>Tired of eating at the same spot? BuddyLunch suggests restaurants based on your group&#39;s ratings, past visits, and cuisine variety -- so you&#39;re always trying something new your group will love.<br><br>RSVP &amp; Scheduling<br>Create lunch events with a restaurant, date, and time. Everyone in the group can accept or decline so you know exactly who&#39;s coming before you head out.<br><br>Settle Up Instantly<br>When the bill comes, BuddyLunch calculates who owes what and lets you request payment through Venmo or PayPal with a single tap. No awkward IOUs.<br><br>Group Chat<br>Coordinate details, share ideas, or just talk about where to eat -- all within the app. No need to juggle a separate group text.<br><br>Friendly Nudges<br>Life gets busy. If your group hasn&#39;t gotten together in a while, BuddyLunch sends a gentle reminder so you stay connected with the people who matter.<br><br>BuddyLunch is built for any group that eats together regularly -- coworkers, college friends, neighbors, book clubs, you name it. Download it, start a group, and get back to lunch.
